1922 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 27 CATHARINE GERTRUDE OLIVE KELLEY (“Gert’ Clang! Clang! Clang! ! ! “Where’s the fire”? That red middy is in again. Who is it? that’s our optimistic friend, Gertrude, who advocates, “Don’t waste fresh tears over old griefs.” Gert’s three accessories, absolutely neces- ry for the state of her well being, are her red middv, her Ford, and last hut not least, her Brown man. “Don't forget the game this afternoon,” is Gert’s weekly warning, for she is a loyal supporter of P. H. S. and confidentially the P. H. S. games are not the only ones she is interested in. One year later? well, information, please connect me with Gert. MARGUERITE FRENCH KENT (“Marge”) Motto: “ you can get by with a little. why do a lot.” VICE PRESIDENT (3) (4), CLEANER BOARD (3) (4), CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE (4) I hree cheers for “Marge,” one of the most lively and attractive girls of our class. Everyone knows “Marge.” You can see her walking and laughing in the halls with her inseparable pal “Lute,” or selling tags at a football game surrounded by many admirers. The Athletic Association knows whom to pick, a tall winsome blonde makes ’em all fall. Ask the fellows, they know. As a student she is a 3 puller, but as a dancer she excels, both at school socials and especially at the “Star.” Her favorite sport is keeping the mailmen busy. We wonder why? Another good time for “Marge” is when the lunch bell rings. Yes, “Marge is half-way downstairs lx fore the rest of us get by the door. Everybody has to wait for the second course, while the fashionable left corner table (nearest the lunch counter I is occupied by “Marge” and the “gang.” In the near future “Marge” will take her longed for exams for Vassar where we’ll see her continuing her brilliant career. GRACE KENYON (“Grace”) Motto: “Look up, and love, and laugh, and lift. CAST OF “CHARM SCHOOL” Yes, she looks all right but the picture is flattering. A little thing like studying has never bothered “Grace.” True, she took home two books once but that hasn’t happened very often. Just recently, she made her debut in dramatics and everybody agrees that her talent is very unusual. Her favorite amusements are taking her absent-minded friends down street, and reading the thrilling stories of the Woman's Home Companion. She also has a weakness for Sunday School Conferences. You get such gratifying results! Judging from her motto, Grace is planning to be a furniture mover, but she says it’s to be normal school. We don't know what kind of a place Framingham is, but we hope there’s a church there.

26 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1922 DOROTHY MARIE JOHNSON (“Dotty’) Motto: “Smile, always smile.” Hear that melodious giggle? Well, that belongs to “Dotty” Johnson. We think she ought to change her motto to “Giggle, always giggle.” Otherwise she's a quiet, sedate, little miss, the very pattern of propriety. She is said to have “waded” through four years of French an we hear startling reports from the French and Geometry classes as to her ability. Her favorite study is applied design. She “loves drawing, painting, and things of that sort.” The kind of painting isn’t specified, but she’ll probably paint the town red, someday, just to make a little excitement. “Dotty” intends to go to the Rhode Island School of Design next year, and train for her future work as drawing teacher. Better grow a bit “Dotty,” or they won t be able to tell teacher dear from the pupils. GRACE EDITH KAVEft Motto: “To be rather than to seem.” Grace is the sort of girl that makes a hit with the faculty. She pays attention in classes and knocks down a good certificate mark every time. Grace is a big-hearted girl. We know from experience that she is always willing to pass around the dainties that constitute her lunch. Her fudge is famous with the I-can-eat-the-most-club and would probably be a howling success if there was enough to supply the entire class. Grace takes her stand with the crowd behind the teams, and does her bit for old P. H. S. She expects to enter R. I. C. E. next year, and the future will find her, drilling needed knowledge into the heads of young America. Three “Ki’s” for Grace. EUGENE VINCENT KEENAN (“Gene”) Motto: “l)o as little as possible and then a little less.” FOOTBALL (3) (4l, VICE PRESIDENT LYCEUM (4) Everyone knows Gene; if not, they never sawr the football team play. For Gene was on the lineup every time ready to defend the Red and White. He is a quiet chap but made many friends. Gene served a verv successful term as Vice President of the Sumner Lyceum. He has a rich baritone voice and was one of the few chosen for the Minstrel chorus. His favorite study is chemistry although you would think they all were if you could see his marks. Gene will enter the portals of Providence College in the fall. Good luck, Gene. GERTRUDE CATHERINE KEENAN ( Cert”) Motto: “If you can’t be good, be as good as you can.” Here’s “Gert,” the chemistry shark. She’s another one of Mr. Wolfe’s troubles. We appreciate what a hard job it is to keep them in their place. But “Gert” follows her motto, and is always as good as she can be. Her favorite study is applied design, and in this she certainly does excel. “Gert” looks like a quiet little girl but looks are deceiving, for when she starts to talk, well, “Try and stop her.” “Gert” intends to enter R. I. C. E. in September. Best wishes!

28 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1922 FREDERICK LEWIS KILBOURN ( ‘Lewie”! Motto: “Aim high: excel. CLEANER ( I ). SWIMMING TEAM (3) ( I), CAPTAIN ( 1), PRESIDENT SCIENCE CLUB (4) “Lewie” is a quiet unassuming chap, who works for everything he receives. He worked hard on the swimming team, and became captain. He studied much and attained the honor of being one of the first five. His favorite study is chemistry and his judgment in this line is seriously considered by all those who know him. Along all lines, he works according to his motto “Aim high; excel. Next year he will enter Brown where he will take a course in chemical engineering. Great things may he expected of him in the future. short. ERNEST ALDRIC LAMOTHE (“Bus”! FOOTBALL (2) (3 I (4), CAPTAIN (4), ALLSTAR TEAM (4» Motto: “Better late than never” First period, second period, and short recess things of the past, yet we still have hopes. First call for eats and a “wadda I care” tread on the stairs. A drink at the H.O pipe and he's all set for a hearty breakfast at the lunch-counter. Of course this only happens two, three, four or five times a week but then—we boys must have our rest. Not considering his propensity for being late and making a howling success of it. “Bus” is sure—one of the boys. “Bus’ ” specialty is football. In the football history of P. H. S. there has never been a more aggressive, smashing, heady guard than “Bus” LaMothe. But not only in football has “Bus” rung the bell. The boy has a career before him as a forceful speaker. “Bus” has slated himself for a law course at Georgetown. Here’s the future success of our„ Bus ------------BRyC£S LEAVENS (“Barb”! Dux Femina Facti” little lady is called “Barb” for ooks. for when you know her she s what they all say, just ask ’em. private “study room” with No wonder she spends a lot of her time up there, good times spent there. “Barb” enjoys eating apples and yellow” machines. But why that color. Barbara? Well, year she expects to enter the New Haven Normal School of Gymnastics. whence she will start her career making girls what they should be. The best of good wishes for your success! GERTRUDE LEDDY i “Cert” i Motto: “Laugh and the world laughs with you. weep and you weep alone” Among our quietest yet finest girls in old P. H. S. is Gert. Room 24 is proud to claim her, and indeed would lose one of its best students if she were to leave. She is very popular with her friends, and is always seen in the midst of a laughing, chattering group of girls. She never misses a day. and is one of the star pupils in her classes. She is especially interested in History, and in 4th period above all. Miss Osborne’s stories take up most of her study period. Next year Gert expects to enter R. I. C. E. where we all wish her the best of success. She's is very witty “Barb” has a a victrola and love
